Caricature Wilkins

Just 1 hour before the dinner, my sister told me that another man was arriving for dinner, Mr. Wilkins, Joe's brother. Minutes later, a not short, brown haired, young man accompanied by a gold decorated Horse Carriage with 4 servants and 4 stallions arrived at our door. He marched through the door as if I did not exist and asked loudly for his brother. Joe came out of the forge and immediately the two were in each others arms. After settling down for dinner, Mr. Wilkins finally acknowledged me.

"And who is this?" said Mr. Wilkins
"This is Pip, my brother in law" said Joe
"Mighty young to be your brother in law" said Mr. Wilkins
"Yes, my entire family died under mysterious circumstances, save for me and my brother" said Mrs. Joe
"Well how do you do young fellow? Have a lollipop" replied Mr. Wilkins

I found that Mr. Wilkins was just as nice as his brother Joe, but a whole lot wealthier. I asked him:

"How did you become a gentleman?"

"Don't you dare ask that question of Mr. Wilkins!" said Mrs. Joe

"Its alright Mrs. Joe, I'll tell Pip" said Mr. Wilkins

"I had always wanted to be a gentleman, ever since I was a child. One day, a strange man came to my house called Mr. Maggers and told me I had been sponsored by a benefactor and I was to travel to London at once. I was very excited and after saying goodbye to my family and friends I left. London was exciting and I quickly learned how to become a gentleman and started my own business. This is how I have become as successful as I am today." explained Mr. Wilkins

"I think you will make a wonderful apprentice to Joe." said Mr. Wilkins
I was extremely excited. This was exactly what I wanted to be, but I couldn't tell anyone because they assumed I was to be an apprentice to Joe.
